HOWARD GANZ Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 8, 2021.
GANZ--Howard. The NBA family mourns the passing of our valued friend, Howard Ganz. Howie was a pioneer of sports law and served our league as principal outside labor counsel at Proskauer Rose for more than 25 years. His extraordinary knowledge, calm demeanor and empathetic nature made him one of the most successful labor lawyers and litigators of his time. Our thoughts are with Howie's family and friends.

Howie and I were on the opposite side of litigations and arbitrations between the NBA and the NBA Players Association our entire careers. He was a brilliant and tenacious adversary. But he also was a friend. He never lost sight of the fact that people could disagree passionately about an issue, but still have respect for each other’s views - a lesson for our times. He also was wickedly funny - often at my expense. I will miss him.

We heard many stories about Howie from our mutual grandson Jake. Jake loved that his Pop Pop would sometimes bend the rules to add fun to their shared times. These memories will last a life time. Well done Howie.
